Use the scheduled Tasks in Control panel.. There is a program that will reboot the machine if you execute it.. I'm not sure the name of it..

1. buy wrist watch
2. set it to what ever time you want your computer to reboot at
3. jam the wrist watch in the floppy drive (make sure you use a lot of force so that it gets in there good)
4. sit back and relax
5. profit

p.s. Fire means you are doing it right

Find some utility (like a reboot.com) that will reboot a PC and the go to your \Windows\Tasks folder and setup a scheduled task to run that reboot.com (or whatever) on the schedule you want.

You could use shutdown.exe and pass the -r and maybe even the -f parameter if you have apps that don't shutdown nicely.

Seriously:
In the old days, with NT, we used the AT command to execute the Shutdown command at the desired time. The other way is to enable and use the scheduler program. Then there's lots of simple scripts and programs that you can download to do the same thing too. Good luck.

Edit: Oops, too late, mentioned above already.
